Luckily, we are joined by the fantastic Toffolo brothers, Matt and Jonathan (https://www.youtube.com/user/batmanmarch) for a special evening to watch and discuss this fascinatingly complex story (with a termly meal beforehand, too!).

The Eighth Doctor
Doctor Who: The Television Movie & Committee Meeting
HE’S ALIVE! Paul McGann stars as the Eighth Doctor in what was, until 2013’s Night of the Doctor, his only screen outing. Despite there being no follow-up American TV revival, this 1996 story nevertheless is warmly remembered – it’s time we rediscover why. The Eighth Doctor, recently regenerated, battles the Master in San Francisco on the eve of the new millennium. With the help of cardiologist Grace Holloway, it's up to the Doctor to prevent the Master’s plans from succeeding as the bells ring in a new year. Join us afterwards for the termly committee meeting, where we will be discussing what to watch next term.
